And here we go! Here's the rules.
- Make a comment about each picture, whether a personal observation, a humourous remark or spotting a reference/inconsistency with the established Ashan lore or previous games set in Ashan.
- Do not include the pictures in your posts!
- No 17 and 18 have a number of iconic weapons/artifacts, see how many you can recognize.
- For those who already play Duel of Champions, I am not looking for the cards' name or stats. But if you know something about their background it will certainly count in your favour.
- First acceptable or full answers will get a bonus.
- This round ends on Sunday evening.

Now, lets get to obsoivin'.
1:Haven knight confronting a large demon with a scimitar-like weapon. The demon has wing-like things on its back and plenty o' spikes. Devil mayhaps?
2: Humanoid in cowl, praying to an altar suspiciously shaped like the Arachne sword.
3: Jaguar Warrior fighting a Vampire. This picture is used in the compendium as the representation of earth-magic, therefor we may assume that the Jag in questions is being blessed with some kinda earth magic on his arm.
4: Orc shaman/dreamwalker standing over a "cauldron" of blood. Presumably working some kinda blood-magic the Orcs are famed for.
5: Goblin Hunter, Orc Warrior and something unclear are hurting themselves. Purplish haze and swirlies suggests them being affected by shadow magic. What is strange is that the Orc and Goblin are Stabbing themselves, with, admittedly pointy, Bludgeoning weapons.
6: Orc Shaman/Dreamreaver casting magic. What's remarkable that this Orc lost his Right arm to the corruption they purge themselves of, instead of the traditional left.
7: Priest like human in black and white outfit, with his eyes covered and holding a book and what looks to be Sandro's Staff. Academy at night in the background? Blind Brother?
8: Preatorian and Kenshi fighting in a large hall. Statues and architecture imply the hall is of Naga origin.
9: Panther Warrior, riding a presumably Shadow Panther, wearing a Chieftains antlered mask.
10: Orc that has succumbed to it's demon blood.
11: Paokai bursting out of a block of ice.
12: Two-headed something in suspiciously Orcish atire hurling a weapon that looks to be made of stone at a Maniac and crushing its skull in the process.
13: Stronghold army drowning/being hit by in a tsunami.
14: Undead female (Necromancer?) with the Amulet of Necromancy round her neck having an epileptic fit/being attacked by magic/going insane.
15: Demonic hero/Chaos Lord with fire sword/Edge of Urgash and demonic banner, riding an Abyssal Worm.
16: Shogun with two lances riding a Sacred Kirin.
17: Treasure Chest with a Pit Lords broken-sword/Vorpal Blade, Orc Warriors "Mace", Marksmans Helmet, Kenshi's Silksword, a Dwarven Hammer?, a Blade Dancers Blade and a shield of undeterminate description.
18: Room (pawnshop/bank, treasurehorde) with various Artifacts: Sword of the Wolf; Malthua's Cleaver/Orc Cleaver; Crag Hacks Helmet; Iridescent Pearl; several potions; Amulet of Thunder; Dragon Eye Pendant; Bone Spaulders; and a multitude of others of indereminate description.

I know very little of the official lore, and I don't play that duel thingie, so this prolly won't be particularly good, but here're my initial thoughts, for what they're worth.
1)
That's one big demon, he looks ravagy but isn't. Also he has decorative wings, amusingly enough. And his mouth and nose seem to be the one hole, which is kinda disgusting, except it's all fire for him so I guess it turns out fine in the end.
2)
That would be an altar, but a weird one. Looks like a human worshipping it, but it's definitely not Elrath, so I dunno what god this is to. Makes me think of the spider a little, but just 'cause the altar looks bony (like a spine maybe). Purple's also one of their colors (fires are purple).
3)
That would be a vampire and a jaguar warrior. It also looks like the jaguar's arm is either being drained by vampy or being regenerated (both effects would look green). Vampire doesn't look like he's doing anything else than staring, but the green effect looks more aggressive than regeneration would, so I really dunno.
4)
That would be a dreamwalker having fun with a pool of blood. And by having fun, I mean using some kinda magic. Also I'm saying walker instead of reaver 'cause his headgear looks more green than red.
5)
Poor mind control victims killing themselves. That's not possible in H6, at least not this directly. The units are a goblin (up front), what looks like an orc, and what looks like a cyclop in the background ripping his head off. Those last 2 don't look like their H6 design (imo), but the cyclops has the same weapon and only 1 shiny eye. If the other 2 are stronghold units, third one prolly is, and orc looks the closest. Still not entirely convinced but I'll go with it anyways.
6)
That's a dreamreaver (red headgeear) with a fiery background. His demon hand changed sides from the (presumably) walker image earlier, I never noticed if that's the case in H6 or if they just applied artistic license and decided to have the right arm be demonic this time. Not necessarily a mistake in any case, I imagine any arm can be demonic, they just had to choose one because the game can only represent one.
7)
Looks like an undead priest. Didn't know the undead had priests. Also he's blind, but I bet mysticalities compensate. There's also a certain theme of duality, black&white, and I'm not sure what that refers to in undead religion. Could be life/death, but I'd doubt it, they look like they consider it more of a unit (a cycle) than a duality thing.
8)
It's a battle between a kenshi (the non-upgraded version is kenshi right?) and a praetorian, in some sort of naga building. I was initially tempted to say temple, but it could be a palace just as well I think, so I dunno.
Got my money on the Kenshi.
9)
That'd be a panther warrior with his pet panther. He looks small in comparison to his pet, but part of that is perspective I think. Still, you'd wonder if pet panthers are larger than normal.
10)
Kinda looks like a cyclops except he isn,t 'cause he's got 2 eyes. Therefore I have to say this is just one ugly orc. His demon genes probably came off the breeder branch.
11)
Weird lookin' creature. Initially I thought an undead dragon, lookin' at the chest, but it's mouth looks very much alive, so that's probably not it. Besides, its got dragonish looks, but is missing some key features, namely arms. Its eyes are also either non-existent or weirdly placed. Kinda makes me think of the H5 wyverns, but this one's waaay too large for that, and is coming out of ice (while wyverns are a tropical animal). Speaking of ice, there's a coupla poor naga souls down on that ice. At least they look like naga.
12)
Weird lookin' thing killing a demented (its unupgraded version actually) by throwing its blunted sword-mace thing at its head. Quite bloody for any kinda heroes art. Also since orcs are the theme of this whole thing, I'm guessing this is some kinda new orc unit/whatever? I'll also add that the "orc" being mindcontrolled earlier looks more like a one-headed version of this dude than an actual orc. Not sure what these things are.
13)
An orc army getting hit by that tsunami naga attack thing. There's a water sculpture of a dragon face, kinda neat.
14)
Undead woman of some sort. The yelling is very banshee-like, but she's not ethereal/ghostly. She's not a construct either, so no ghoul. Not a vampire either, she has the skin tone but nothing else. I'm thinking she's maybe the upper-body half of near-naked fate spinner? Otherwise quite possibly a new unit again.
15)
That's the demon worm thing, with a demon hero riding it. Said hero looks a lot like Raelag TBH. Also there's a demon symbol on the worm's underbelly.
The worm hasn't been tunelling for a while, prolly because there's an idiot riding him.
16)
Human-looking sanctuary hero riding a kirin, most likely into battle considering the weapons are out and ready. Not something you'd expect to see, a kirin allowing someone to ride it.
You can forget me naming anything with 17-18, I suck at remembering artifact names. I'll just say, the arties in 18 look like they belong to a necromancer who's stashing them for a rainy day or something.
